Instructions

Gather all of your ingredients for the Instant Pot ribs.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, chili powder, parsley, salt, garlic powder, pepper, cumin, onion powder, and paprika. Use a fork to mix well and break up any large clumps.
Generously rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place a steam rack inside your Instant Pot (or similar multi-functional pressure cooker). Pour the water and apple cider vinegar into the bottom of the pot.
Carefully lower the ribs into the Instant Pot, curving them around the edge of the steam rack. Secure the lid, ensuring it's properly locked. Select high pressure and set the timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot.
Once the timer is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as per the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 5 minutes). Unlock and remove the lid once all pressure is released.
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the ribs on top. Generously brush with your favorite barbecue sauce.
Broil the ribs until the barbecue sauce is bubbling and slightly caramelized, about 3 minutes.
Serve your delicious Instant Pot ribs immediately and enjoy!
